Kashyap is a woman of many talents. She is a lecturer and mass communication professor at a college in Mumbai and the author of books I Promise and Souled Out. She used to run her own public relations agency in Chandigarh, after which she joined a radio channel in Punjab as its programming head. She has also directed a short film and buzz is, she may be directing a Bollywood film next.

Says an insider, “Tahira has directed the short film Phatte Haal and those who have seen it have been impressed by her sensitivity. Ayushmann loved it and has been urging her to direct a Bollywood film. She’s giving the matter some thought as she’s currently very busy with their baby daughter, her work and her third book.”

Ayushmann’s spokesperson says, “Tahira has no plans at all to direct any Bollywood films. As of now, she only wants to concentrate on her writing. The short film is an amateur film made in conjunction with the members of the theater group that she mentors in Chandigarh and it’s still under production. Phatte Haal is the story of one of the most faithful and endearing pets – about a stray dog who had his proverbial day and the kid who got his candy, both living in the fringes of the society. Together they make a happy little world for themselves, and it doesn’t take much.”

The source adds, “She also wants amateurs to make short films under her production company, Honeybee Productions.”

Born on September 14, 1984, Ayushmann Khurrana is the winner of MTV Roadies season 2. This particular achievement changed his life forever. He got opportunities to take control of the mike as a TV anchor, and after a lot of rambling and blabbering, finally Bollywood film Vicky Donor happened. He stepped into the shoes of a carefree Punjabi lad quite effortlessly.

Along with acting, Mr Khurrana is equally passionate about singing. He crooned and composed the song Pani da (Vicky Donor), which became one of the most popular numbers this year. What we like about Ayushmann is that he is supremely creative and insists on making the best use of his potential every time he appears on screen. As a case in point, he recently asked director Rohan Sippy if he could lend his voice to one of the songs in Nautanki Saala, in which he will also be acting.

Ayushmann is married to childhood sweetheart Tahira Kashyap who is a lecturer-writer by profession. And the best part is when the VD hunk was recently asked about his growing popularity, he simply said that his wife is much more famous and talented than him. Now isn’t that sweet?

We hear Ayushmann is celebrating his birthday in Chandigarh today along with family. We hope he has an awesome time with his dear ones. Send in your wishes for the gifted actor-singer!
